Strangely, Mvp is the only one that know that consistently loses and puts out bad results and yet I feel like all it does is build up his legacy in a good wya solidifying as the underdog King. He feels like the weakest and the strongest player we've ever had. Al losing does is make us think he's done now, but then we remember who he was, who he is and you just can't help but think he could still beat the shit out of any one of these Gods if we gave him enough preparation. and the right conditions.
I think its the heart he always shows. Like when he kept fighting through all the protoss and won the GSL. And when he got to the finals during the BL-Infestor days and really took it to Life who was nigh on unbeatable at that time. The most amazing thing about Mvp to me is how he always keeps trying. That game against innovation when he was done to 9 SCVs or that game against the euro zerg when he had 3 scvs and he still won!
Its like that song, Mvp has the heart of the tiger.

Because it blundered on the resume of it, nothing was happening for 3-4 seconds and the eventually another pause. The timings going be like 20seconds off due to timer

Remind me, how many tournaments did post-injury Mvp dominate like pre-injury Mvp? Don't forget about the Russian Gamescom !

That's not what he said. I agree that even if we see him losing, Mvp is the kind of guy whose legend doesn't cease to grow.

Maybe one day we'll spend 20 pages talking about Flash in a LR thread where he's not playing.

Flash gets to be the focus of discussion when design and skill cap is the topic

It's more like when we see someone like Sniper/Roro/Nestea/DRG/MMA fall of the community all become negative about their chances to ever come back.
Mvp loses and then we see him in the next tournament and you just can't help but think, "Yea, Mvp should lose. But he's Mvp. He can still win."

Flash is ok, but he doesn't have the soap opera of Mvp. Being a machine and killing everyone is fine I guess, but until you face a little diversity it isn't easy to fall in love.

WOAH HOLD UP THERE'S A GAME ON MY SCREEN

Clide was a saboteur put into KT by Boxer to ruin Flash's career.

They really should play him in PL. I mean, he won a GSL with injuried wrists, why not a PL, mmh?
